Advances in the Exon-Intron Database (EID)

Investigation of exon-intron gene structures is a non-trivial task due to enormous expansions of the eukaryotic genomes, great variety of gene forms, and the imperfectness in sequence data. A number of available informational systems on various gene characteristics complement each other and are indispensable for many genomic studies. Among them, the Exon-Intron Database (EID) is a good choice f...

EID: the Exon?Intron Database?an exhaustive database of protein-coding intron-containing genes

To aid studies of molecular evolution and to assist in gene prediction research, we have constructed an Exon-Intron Database (EID) in FASTA format. Currently, the database is derived from GenBank release 112, and it contains 51 289 protein-coding genes (287 209 exons) that harbor introns, along with extensive descriptions of each gene and its DNA and protein sequences, as well as splice motif i...

ExInt: an Exon/Intron database

The Exon/Intron (ExInt) database incorporates information on the exon/intron structure of eukaryotic genes. Features in the database include: intron nucleotide sequence, amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein, position of the introns at the amino acid level and intron phase. From ExInt, we have also generated four additional databases each with ExInt entries containing predicted intro...

Exon-Intron Interaction

The reaction mechanism for self-splicing introns requires the existence of a 5' exon binding site on the intron. Experimental evidence is now presented consistent with the existence of such a binding site by demonstrating efficient and accurate trans-self-splicing of a yeast mitochondrial group II intron. Partial and complete transsplicing reactions take place in the absence of branch formation...

Intron size and exon evolution in Drosophila.

We have found a negative correlation between evolutionary rate at the protein level (as measured by d(N)) and intron size in Drosophila. Although such a relation is expected if introns reduce Hill-Robertson interference within genes, it seems more likely to be explained by the higher abundance of cis-regulatory elements in introns (especially first introns) in genes under strong selective const...
